When you've spent your entire life being beaten down by the will of others to only live for the means of them... You convince yourself to be compelled to change that forever. For family, for you. Investing was that one thing I started to really understand. I read and read and read and now I can say I truly understand why I'm here. I shouldn't have to break my back for penance. I invest because I should and not because someone told me to. It's a revelation.... To make money off money.
